The Office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hamas this Thursday of creating a “last minute crisis” after allegedly trying to modify details of the draft ceasefire announced yesterday by Qatar, and assures that the Israeli Government will not approve its implementation until this is clarified.
“Hamas is violating parts of the agreement reached with mediators and Israel in an effort to extort last-minute concessions,” says the Israeli president’s office. “The cabinet will not meet until the mediators notify Israel that Hamas has accepted all elements of the agreement,” he notes.
The meeting of the Israeli Government to ratify the agreement, scheduled for this Thursday at 10 (Spanish time), is now up in the air after Netanyahu’s statement that is already reported by media such as The Jerusalem Post and the Reuters agency. quoted by The Guardian.
Before the statement from Netanyahu’s Office was known, The Jerusalem Post had already published that the meeting would be delayed, “at least,” until this afternoon. “The delegation for the hostage agreement has not finished its work in Qatar nor returned to Israel. When the delegation returns, the cabinet will meet,” notes the Israeli media in a note published early this morning.
